"I await their decision on EV producers and the huge quantity of dangerous particulates EV's spew into the atmosphere."
The only particulates that EVs spew into the atmosphere are tire dust, and not much more than other vehicles - or if LRR tires are used, less than most.
If you mean during production, or pollution from generating power to charge the vehicle, even if charged purely with coal the lifecycle emissions are lower by the time an EV hits 70k miles.
TL;DR: Bullshit.
Your use case is simply not the intended market.
But the whole point people are trying to make is, once you take out the people who don't have a place to charge, the people who can't afford an ev, the people that don't want to modify their homes for an ev, the people who go on long trips occasionally and don't want them to take longer or take more planning, the people who don't like change, and all the other smaller reasons why people don't want these.... The intended market is very small. EV proponents keep saying things like '80% of all trips are within range' but they forget that it doesn't mean the same thing as 'EVs will work for 80% of people'.
"And nothing of value was lost"?
Oh noes politicians might have the power to prevent people from profiting from polluting our nation and planet unnecessarily, HOW TERRIBLE.
They ruled that how he was doing it was unconstitutional, not doing it at all. Got any facts to work with, or only things you don't understand and therefore shouldn't be pointing around?
Except that wasn't an example of overreach. Seasonal wetlands are still wetlands. Polluting them still affects both aquifers and the migratory waterfowl which use them.
Got any actual examples, not just more shitting on everything you don't care about, like other people?
Nobody with a brain believes in that shit anyway. How many examples do you want of the government shutting down businesses on bullshit pretexts? Or propping them up?
"TikTok owner ByteDance would prefer shutting down its loss-making app rather than sell it"
Yes, that's because its purpose is not profit, as it's a PsyOp. If the goal were profit, they would prefer to sell it. If they sell it, there is a risk that documents which prove its purpose will be transferred, and blow the whole operation even worse than being shut down.
"It's probably because you're asserting that the mod down process validates your "facts"."
If you want to claim what I'm saying isn't factual, the onus is on you to provide some counter evidence, or at minimum, counter arguments. When people mod down an opinion because they don't agree with it they have surrendered the point.
I would have moderated you FUNNY, if it had not actually been sad and dystopian.
To hell with KLM. They lose bags and actively lie about it.
In 2017 my ex and I were flying to Stockholm (LAX-AMS-ARN), and one of our bags apparently got lost at AMS. To make things worse, we were getting on a cruise ship the next day.
I pretty much spent four days dealing with KLM, and they consistently lied to me about the status of the missing bag. Until I realized that I had purchased the tickets with American Express. I contacted Amex Global Assist and let them deal with KLM. Four days later, the bag showed up in our stateroom (might have been sooner, except for Russian law). However... as a further example of how f***ed up KLM is, as I'm looking at the bag, I get an email from KLM: "Your bag is in Stockholm, please come get it."
1. I'm in Talinn, on a cruise ship. F*** off.
2. I have the bag in front of me you f***ing liars.
Indeed. QEMM was something of a hero in that department, but even memmaker was enormously helpful...
The one day you'd sell your soul for something, souls are a glut.
